I'm not a great deep political thinker.
David Mitchell
maybe the meaning of life lies in looking for it
David Mitchell
A life spent shaping a world I want Jackson to inherit, not one I fear Jackson shall inherit, this strikes me as a life worth the living.
David Mitchell
Any society's upper-crust is riddled with immorality, how else d'you think they keep their power? Reputation is king of the public sphere, not private. It is dethroned by public acts.
David Mitchell
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
She was widely read enough to appreciate my literary wit but not so widely read that she knew my sources. I like that in a woman.
